How do you make a polygon in FME?
Creating polygons in FME can be done by using polylines or line objects, and the AreaBuilder function. Since the cycle route network is a set of topologically connected line objects, the AreaBuilder can create polygon features from lines that are connected by vertices/endpoints and form shapes (i.e. a closed polygon).
